Typically I like action anime so I have to try not to be biased when I review but I can honestly say I had no problem removing my bias. Anybody who watches this series though must know that the characters aren't exactly identical from the ones you got to know in the DMC games, don't judge it by that, if anything the animated series is supposed to inspire you to go play the game if you haven't.
Story- In terms of story line, mediocre is a good word it tries to actually follow a decent storyline except a few episodes just kind of fall out of place. To be honest some episodes don't even seem related to the series and just seem to be filler (funny considering that most of my friends considered more than half of the series filler) but the truth is their not really filler but just plots that won't actually get tied together until the last two episodes (which is fine and all but seriously was not the best idea the creators have). There was nothing persay to build up on unless of course you think that "Dante kills demon" is something that is really well built (not that that's bad idea i thought it was a really good one but typically I want more behind a fight than I'm going to kill you because your an abomination)
Art- I actually thought the art was pretty good I mean they obviously need to take a class to find out how much blood is inside of a given body then again most animes have that problem anyway. The animation was good very rarely did I end up saying that was shoddy (although occasionally the number of bullets shot didn't match the number that hit the ground I know it's stupid but I'm picky about that sort of thing).
Sound- The sound was pretty good it actually pulled me in I especially liked the opening theme which matched really well to the whole battle context. Voice acting was okay not the best thing in the world but it got me through I don't want to hear english dub though I liked dante's jab voice actor and they will most likely ruin it with english dub.
Character- I hated character development they spent no time developing the aspects of Dante or for that matter any other character in the series in the end all I thought was that Dante likes strawberry sundaes and pizza and that near everybody seems to like killing demons (it actually does sound like fun when you think about it but honestly as you can tell by Dante's financial status it doesn't pay much).
Enjoyment- Despite all my whining I did enjoy the series after all in this case especially the end justified the means and gave me the gratification I needed not to bomb this whole series. I'm a man who likes action and if gun totting sword swinging demon bashing fights don't fill that need I don't know what could.
Overall- My suggestion only watch this series if you don't feel like being a little insulted because you've played the games and know something is not right about a situation. If you like violence and killing I doubt you'll have a problem getting through this series
